Hi Chelle’s fans! Do you use templates for making digital scrapbooking pages? I don’t think I can scrap without them. I have become quite accustomed to the time saving of using templates, but sometimes I can’t find the perfect template, and I need to tweak a template to make it perfect for a particular layout. Some of Chelle’s team members have done that and have some example layouts to show you what they do when they want to make a template “new.”
Roxana chose to use one of Chelle’s Archery templates given as a prize for a challenge during the NSD events in May, shown in this image here.
She took the double template and cut it down to a single 12×12 template and did a bit of arranging of the photos and flipped a layer or two. It made a terrific single page with her adorable large photo taking center stage. I love how she added her journal notes on top of the photo. Here’s her page: 
Kayla has an example to show how you can combine 2 templates to make a brand new one. She used templates from Bracket Love and Boo-tiful Blends, which are her own creations, by the way. She combined the two templates by moving 2 of the photo spots in Bracket Love down and to the corner and replaced the 3rd photo spot with the photo blending mask from the Boo-tiful Blends template. 
I love that large photo in a blended photo spot, and her perfect clusters are made from the Eeeeek Bundle and Kraftabulous. Her title is very fitting for her story, and it’s made from Chelle’s Wet Paint Alpha.
Tweaking templates is a great way to stretch your stash. Try experimenting with a template or two and see what gorgeousness you can make. If you use any of her products, post your layouts to Chelle’s Gallery at Scrap Orchard. I would love to see them!
Hello Everyone! Tuesday means Unlikely Pairs and this week we focused on Indian Summer & Taste of Home.
Hello Friends! Are you watching your calendar and counting down to Digital Scrapbooking Day? I am. Can’t wait to see what all the goodies are in the grab bags? It’s Monday and that mean’s sharing some great Gallery Stand Outs. As I was looking through the gallery at Scraporchard, I found some new LO’s that I liked. I’ll share them with you and tell you why I liked them.
This LO is by Jenn18 and uses Chelle’s “Under Construction” kit. I really like the use of the patterned papers and the dirt.The frame made of measuring tape holding the tools. Great!
Jenn V shares this LO of her son’s love of driving anything. The tire tread and the traffic signs are used together in such a great way! She used Chelle’s Vrooom! Bundle.
Clemmon03 created this “Tiger” LO of her daughter’s experience with the Tiger at the Tucson Zoo. I noticed her daughter first, then the clusters and last I liker her use of the chain link fence. She used Zoopendous Bundle.
Tbbuffy made this wonderful LO. Love the use of the cowhide paper and the buckle. The gentleman really draws you into the picture. I want to see more of work on the horse’s hoof. The LO uses Yeehaw.
Hope these fantastic LO’s gave you some ideas for your digital scrapbooking. Hugs!

Hi! I'm Chelle: a 40 something mom of 7. My husband & I live in a rural community in the rocky mountains with our 4 children still at home. In the winters we enjoy sledding & snuggling by the fire. I the cool fall evenings we love relaxing around the campfire & meeting friends at the county fair. Admiring the stars 
on a clear summer night and splashing in spring mud puddles. We love making memories together. Me? I love blueberries, fresh salmon, creating, memory keeping, & above all my family & my faith.
